Effect of electro-osmotic flow on energy conversion on superhydrophobic surfaces [PDF]
Physics of Fluids, 2013 It has been suggested that superhydrophobic surfaces, due to the presence of a no-shear zone, can greatly enhance transport of surface charges, leading to a considerable increase in the streaming potential. This could find potential use in micro-energy harvesting devices.
